I bought an abandoned Akiya house in rural Japan - How Much and Why? Nanao Machiya Project

Earlier this year I decided to buy another Machiya that is almost a 4 hours train ride from Kyoto. The house has been vacant for more than 20 years and was listed for sale for the last 3 or 4 years...Papers are signed and the property is officially under my name, but now I have to figure out how to successfully make use of this Machiya for the better of the community - within budget...
